little drops of joy
in river of emotions;
is a flood welcome?
Translated to French by Claude Lopez-Ginisty. Thank you 🙂
Petites gouttes de joie
dans une rivière d’émotions;
une inondation est-elle bienvenue?
The poetic form involved here is a Senryu. Senryu is Japanese haikai form. It’s similar to the haiku, but the association here is with life and emotions, rather than nature. Like haiku, the form is 17 syllables or under, written usually in three lines.
